Revealed: details of Chelsea offer to Roma star revealed as agent flies to London

As we reported a few minutes ago, Chelsea have begun transfer talks with Roma over the signing of Germany defender Antonio Rudiger.

The former Stuttgart man is a long time target of the Premier League champions, so much so the Blues were on the verge of signing him for € 25 million one year ago. Rudger’s Chelsea move, however, collapsed when the versatile defender picked up a knee injury which kept him out of action for several months.

​Chelsea have resumed their interest in the rock-solid defender and have begun talks with intermediaries working for AS Roma.

According to Sky Sport the giallorossi are open to sell the player for € 40 million, although they could lower their release demands and sell the player for € 35 million plus add-ons.

The player’s agent is flying to London to discuss the terms of his client’s contract at Chelsea and calciomercato.com has exclusively learned that Rudiger will be offered a five-year deal. Chelsea seem to be very close to signing the German, follow calciomercato.com today for all the latest updates on this possible deal between Chelsea and Roma.
